[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 3295460, member: 11586"] By this logic, can't we say Mirror Image is overpowered? Let's take a look at Mirror Image. We have a 2nd level spell (same as Wraithstrike) which gives us a HUGE benefit to defense. Cast at the minimum level (3rd for a Wizard) and rolling the Minimum on the d4 die roll, you create 2 images. This gives the caster a 66% chance of being missed in combat by a melee attack. If you ever get to the point where you can create 8 images, you will be missed by a melee attack approx 11% of the time. Do you know of any other defensive spell that protects you from a melee attack 89% of the time? The only other spells that come close to this are Invis and anything that grants total concealment, both of which only offer 50% miss chance. Eventually, as your images "pop", the percent chance of you getting hit goes up. But guess what? If you are that concerned about not getting hit, cast it again! So is this spell over powered for a 2nd level spell? How are melee combatants supposed to hit you? It's not fair! I wonder if this would be a good spell to protect against Wraithstrike? [/QUOTE]
